Experienced Defoliation User Question
JiminyCricketstarted grow question 6y ago
Wondering if I should continue to remove new growths, especially at the bottom after the heavy Defoliation I did a few days ago on my flowering set? Looking for people who regularly use Defoliation on their autos. Do you see better results pulling new growth on bud development?

Leaf colour and budsAre the leaves still too dark and should I be flushing more? Just worried I've ruined the growth with the overfeeding of nutes now 😓. It seems small but I guess there's still few more weeks to go?
Also for nest time am I supposed to remove the lower smaller buds?
Thanks 🌈3y ago

Seem to be having overwatering issues - moving forward I’ll definitely wait a little longer before adding more water, but anything that I can do at this point to try and improve things? Or is it just a wait it out scenario? Any insight would be appreciated.Week 5

As you can see in the pictures, the grow tent is super packed and full of green. Its the beginning of week 5 of flower and one of my concerns is the light not penetrating through the top. Should I defoliate or trim large fan leaves to thin it out or just let it grow?Week 4

Defoliate further or stop?I am in 3rd week of flower. I did defoliation right before switch to flower and at the end of second week. That was 5 days ago.
I feel I want to defoliate more, to expose more lower buds to light, but I afraid it will be contra productive. What do you think?Week 9
